let's dig in now, with washington post columnist. you're not calling this a fiscal cliff but the austerity crisis, why do you think more european name-calling here is going to get people's attention? >> i love european name-calling. i don't anybody understands what fiscal cliff means. the fiscal part of it, tend to associate fiscal problems with deficit. this will be a problem caused by too much deficit reduction too quickly. you got these debates is it a cliff, a curve? a slope? i don't think we know how quickly problems begin. what we do know it's a sufficient contraption, in 2013, within two months, if we don't solve it, we'll need to raise the debt ceiling, tip the country into a recession and the financial markets into chaos. with some confidence and certainty it's a crisis. austerity, we're worried about austerity too quickly. i'm trying as a journalist to give this thing a name of what's going to happen here. >> let's talk about what you written and the election in 2016 as it relates to austerity crisis. you write, there are a
